Syntron® Vibrators
Syntron® Vibrators offer an efficient, cost-effective
means to maintain free flow of product from bins,
hoppers and chutes, with a direct and positive result on
the bottom line. Whether the need is to ensure constant,
uninterrupted material flow, or to eliminate the necessity
for manual manipulation of a bin, hopper or bulk
material, Syntron Vibrators increase productivity and
reduce production costs.
Three types of Syntron Vibrators — electromagnetic,
rotary electric and pneumatic — provide product flow
solutions for just about any industry, application or
environment. Compact yet mighty, Syntron Vibrators are
designed for years of high-performance, trouble-free
continuous or intermittent operation, with the broadest
selection of models and power ranges available.
Syntron® Electromagnetic Vibrators
Syntron Electromagnetic Vibrators are ideal
for continuous or intermittent operation. An easily
adjustable control assures optimum and variable
material flow. Dependable Syntron Electromagnetic
Vibrators are virtually maintenance-free because the
electromagnetic design eliminates moving parts. Most
models come standard with fully-enclosed dust-tight
and watertight construction.
Syntron Electric Rotary Vibrators are motor driven for
reduced noise levels. These rugged vibrators are totally
enclosed for reliable operation in dusty, dirty or moist
environments. Adjustable eccentric weights allow easy
adjustment of force to suit varying applications.
Syntron® Electric Rotary Vibrators by Visam
Syntron Pneumatic Vibrators can be installed where
electricity is not readily available because they use compressed air. Two types of pneumatic vibrators, turbine
and piston, are available. Designed to keep operating
noise at a minimum, Syntron Pneumatic Turbine
Vibrators are ideal for locations where noise pollution is
undesirable. Vibrator speed is adjusted by simply varying
the air supply. Pneumatic turbine vibrators feature
totally enclosed construction which eliminates concern
over environmental factors such as dust, dirt or moisture.

Syntron® Electromagnetic Vibrators
Keep Your Materials Flowing Efficiently and Economically
Syntron® Electromagnetic
Vibrators from FMC Technologies
offer an economical means of maintaining the flow of bulk materials
from bins, hoppers and chutes. They
come with an easily adjustable control which provides flexibility and
assures optimum flow for the type of
material being handled. Furthermore,
Syntron Electromagnetic Vibrators
can be operated continuously or
intermittently depending upon the
specific requirements.
To assure the highest standard of
quality, Syntron Electromagnetic
Vibrators are factory tested and
adjusted for optimum performance.
Most models come standard with
totally enclosed, dust-tight and waterproof construction. Since these
vibrators have no rotating or sliding
parts, they are virtually maintenancefree.

Syntron® Electromagnetic Vibrator Models
Syntron® V-2 and V-4 Electromagnetic Vibrators are two of the
smallest industrial vibrators available. These versatile vibrators can be
controlled electrically with a separate control. When these vibrators are
operated without a control, they can be mechanically controlled by
turning an easily accessible adjusting screw. Increased amplitude can be
obtained by using rectified AC power. Flexibility and ease of installation
are common to both models and the Model V-4 is available with a dusttight case.
Models V-9 and V-20 are compact in size, but at 3600 vpm, they pack
enough vibratory “punch” to excel in a wide range of applications. Each
is available with a separate dust-tight case.
Typical applications for the above models include installations on
small bins, handling lightweight materials, or in counting, sorting or
packaging operations.

Impact and Cushioned Vibrator Compact Models
Models V-50, V-85 and V-180 are “solid” impact vibrators. These units
use a metal striking block to produce positive impact.
Models V-41, V-51, V-86 and V-181 are “cushioned” impact vibrators,
which utilize a rubber striking block to produce positive impact. Their
high power/low noise characteristics make them ideal for use in confined
areas with nearby workers. Physical dimensions and electrical specifications are identical to the “solid” impact type vibrators. Dust-tight and
waterproof construction are standard for both versions.
Open Models
Models V-75 and V-500 feature a power-packed, solid impact, open-type
design. They are used on difficult, heavy-duty applications. The V-500 is
one of the largest magnetic vibrators available. Both the V-75 and V-500
are available with a separate dust-tight case.
Self-Contained Models

Models V-9 through V-500 require separate controls unless specifically
ordered as self-contained units. Self-contained units include a built-in
rectifier and they always operate at full force. Self-contained units are
recommended only where no force adjustment is required. Models V-41
and V-500 are not available as self-contained units.

Selecting the Proper Syntron® Electromagnetic Vibrator
The primary consideration in
vibrator selection is the thickness
of the bin or chute wall. Once the
proper vibrator model has been
selected from the Application
Tabulation Table, compare the
capacity in the tapered portion of
the bin with the rated capacity
shown in the table. If the rated
capacity is exceeded, multiple
vibrators may be required, depending on the material being handled.
Stiffeners used to reinforce the bin
or chute may also affect the selection or preferred location of the
vibrator. Please contact FMC
Technologies for a copy of our
data sheet and assistance with
selection of appropriate units in
these applications.

from hopper to extruder.

Electromagnetic Vibrators
Mounting Syntron® Electromagnetic Vibrators
Correct location of electromagnetic vibrators is of prime importance in obtaining maximum efficiency
from the selected model. Note: Operate vibrators on hoppers only when the hopper is open to flow.
Otherwise, vibration may pack the hopper contents.
Curved Surfaces
To mount a vibrator to a
curved surface, select a bracket
made from a channel section or a
bent plate. A center gusset is
required for all totally enclosed
vibrators, and two blocks of sufficient height to contact the curved surface are
required for Models V-75 and V-500. The selected
gusset or blocks must be securely welded to the
underside of the bracket and curved surface. This
arrangement is required to stiffen the mounting and
transmit vibrations directly to the hopper contents.
Mounting bolt heads can be welded to the underside
of the bracket.
Rectangular Hoppers
Mount vibrator and
mounting channel as
for a conical hopper or
a curved surface. If a
stiffener obstructs
mounting, mount the
vibrator in the middle
of the panel next to the
stiffener. If required, a
second vibrator should
be mounted on the
opposite face at a slightly higher elevation.
Hopper with Sloping
Discharge
Mount the vibrator on
the center line of the hopper,
as close to the discharge as
possible. An additional
vibrator may be required
on the discharge chute.
Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations may
require slight variations. For other applications not covered here, please
consult factory for recommendations.
12
Rectangular or Cylindrical Bins with Flat
Bottom and Center Discharge.
Mount directly to the side of the
bin, just below the point where the
materials’ natural angle of repose
intersects the side, as shown.
Parabolic Bins or Hoppers
Mount the vibrator within
one foot of each discharge
opening and in line with
center of opening.
Conical Hoppers
Mount the vibrator to
the hopper (as for a curved
surface) 12 to 18 inches (300
to 450 mm) or less from the
discharge.
Inclined Chutes
Chutes less than 10 to 12 feet
(3 to 3.6 m) long are usually
equipped with just one vibrator
located well below the center.
Allow for the vibrator to be
moved about one foot (300 mm)
in either direction. On chutes
requiring more than one
vibrator, the first one should be located 18 to 24 inches
(450 to 500 mm) from the outlet. The second unit
should be mounted about half-way between the first
vibrator and the upper end. Allow for the vibrators to
be moved about one foot (300 mm) in either direction.
Screw Feeder
Belt Conveyor and Standard Bin
Screw conveyors feed from the back of the
hopper. Vibrator should be 1/3 from the inlet. If two
vibrators are used, place second vibrator on opposite
side, 1/3 from the discharge. Do not operate the
vibrator at the discharge end until the back of the
bin is empty and the vibrator at the inlet is shut off.
Mount vibrator on the belt discharge side of the hopper.
Follow mounting instructions for the appropriate bin type
on page 12.
Concrete Hopper or Lined Wooden Hopper
For wooden hoppers lined with thin sheet metal,
attach vibrator mounting bolts to the hopper lining.
Short Screw Feeder
Place vibrator
as close as possible
to feeder.
For concrete hoppers, secure a steel plate across the
top inside of the hopper, to the discharge opening
along the side to which the vibrator will be mounted.
At about one-quarter or less of the distance from the
discharge to the vertical side, cut an opening to allow
the vibrator to be bolted to the steel plate.
Long Bin
Belt conveyors feed from the front of the hopper.
Vibrator should be 1/3 from front. If two vibrators
are used, place one on the opposite side and 1/3
from back. Do not operate the back vibrator until
the front is empty and the front vibrator is shut off.
Vibrating Feeder and Standard Bin
Mount vibrator on the feeder
infeed side of the hopper. Follow
mounting instructions for the
appropriate bin type on page 12.
Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations may
require slight variations. For other applications not covered here, please
consult factory for recommendations.

Rugged construction, reliable performance to assure the efficient flow
of bulk materials
Syntron® Electric Rotary Vibrators from FMC
Technologies provide a safe, reliable, cost-effective
way to maintain the flow of materials. Motor-driven
to provide virtually noiseless operation (most models
76 db or less*), these vibrators help facilitate material
flow from the smallest bin, hopper or chute to the
largest silo, screens, feeders, grizzly feeders, conveyors,
fluid beds, shake-outs, helical elevators, etc.
Additionally, they are totally enclosed to eliminate
concerns over environmental factors such as dust,
dirt and rain. Syntron Electric Rotary Vibrators can
be used to pack material in drums and bags as well as
to consolidate material in pipe and precast industries,
in vibrating screen applications and many other
industrial environments. High stroke/low frequency
models are especially suitable for hard-to-handle

Selecting the Proper Syntron® Electric Rotary Vibrator
for Rotational and Elliptical Applications
Bins or Hoppers
In order to move material in a bin or hopper, the
friction between the material and the bin wall must
be broken. Once the friction is broken, the material
cannot cling to the sides of the bin and it will flow
out through the discharge. For most applications, the
vibrator force needed to accomplish this is simply
calculated as follows:
Calculate the weight of the material in the transition or
sloping part of the bin. Normally, this is the only place
where the friction between the material and the bin side
has to be broken. Do not calculate the total weight, only
what is in the transition part of the bin.
For conical bins, calculate as follows:
.261 x dia.2 x height x material density in lb/ft3 (kg/m3)
ROTATIONAL
obtained with
1 Electric Vibrator
ELLIPTICAL
obtained with
1 Electric Vibrator
(not in center of gravity)
For rectangular bins, calculate as follows:
Length x width x height x 1/3 x material density.
When the weight (lb) has been calculated, divide
the weight by 10 to get the force or impact needed
from the vibrator (lbf). For example: The conical part
of a 25-ton bin contains 7000 lb Divide 7,000 by 10
to get the force (lbf) or impact needed from the
vibrator. Find a suitable vibrator on pages 20 - 29.
For packing or settling materials, use a vibrator
with an impact force of one-and-a-half to two times
larger than the weight of the material plus container.
Find a suitable vibrator in the tables on pages 20 - 29.
Additional considerations when sizing vibrators
to bins:
For self-cleaning screen, use a vibrator with a
centrifugal force (impact) four times the weight of
the material plus the weight of the screen.
If the bin side angle is less than 30 degrees, select a
larger vibrator.
If the bin has a vertical section, select a larger vibrator.
If the bin wall is extra thick select a larger vibrator.
On very sticky and hard to move materials, it is better to
use two small vibrators instead of one large one (size the
two smaller ones by dividing the required force in half).
Vibrating Tables for Packing Materials
Dense materials respond best to high-frequency
vibration (3600 rpm or more), while light, fluffy or
flaky materials respond best to low-frequency
vibration (1800 rpm or less).
Vibrating Screens
Note: Coarse, lumpy, sticky or wet materials
respond best to high-frequency vibration; powdery
and dry materials to low-frequency vibration.
Consolidating Concrete
For three-inch “slump” concrete, use a vibrator
with the same force (impact) as the weight of concrete
and form. For one- to two-inch slump concrete, an
additional 30 to 50 percent impact is needed. For
dry mixes (zero slump) increase the impact by 100
to 200 percent.
Chutes
The force required of the vibrator is equal to
the weight of the chute plus the vibrator plus the
maximum material in the chute. See page 30 for
more information.

Total Weight of machine (structure + vibrators) (lb)
Weight of isolated structure (lb)
Weight of vibrator (Weight of vibrator x number of vibrators) (lb)
Static Moment of vibrator (lb*in)
* As a general rule it is advisable to limit designs for a maximum
of 5 G’s of acceleration. In specialized applications or designs it
may be acceptable to exceed the 5 G acceleration limit. Consult
factory for guidelines.
Example:
Known information:
Type of process
Type of vibration
= quarry primary feeder
Stroke (from table)
= .26
= linear (2 vibrators)
Speed (from table)
= 1,200 RPM
Power Supply
= 60 Hz
Weight of vibrating structure = 3,300 lb
Estimated vibrator’s weight:
= 825 lb (25% of vibrating
structure)
Vibrator rough selection:
I. Considering the known information from above use the table on page 18 to determine rough Speed (RPM) needed.
(In the example above the RPM range is 900 - 1,200 for a Primary Feeding process at 60Hz.)
II. Using the Speed and Stroke table above, select the appropriate vibrator pole size based on your Hz and Speed
requirements. (In the example above the pole selection is 6 based on 60Hz and 1,200 Speed (RPM).)
III. Using the formulas below, determine SMv (Static Moment) required for this application.
a. e = S / 2
= > .26 / 2
= .13 in
b. SMt = Wt x e
= > (3300 + 825) x .13
= 536
c. SMv = SMt / Number of Vibrators = > 536 / 2
= 268 lb*in
IV. Referencing the charts on pages 20 - 29 the FMC model number selection is SPV6-14000 based on 6 pole, 60Hz and a Static
Moment of 268 or greater. (Actual Static Moment for this vibrator is 319.7)
Checking the FMC model selection:
SMt = SMv x 2
Wt = Ws + Wv
e = SMt / Wt
= 319 (actual SMv from page 26) x 2
= 3300 + (477 (actual wt from page 26) x 2)
= 638 / 4254
= 638 lb*in
= 4254.0 lb
= .15 in
* In the example above by using two SPV6-14000 vibrators, the desired eccentricity 0.13 can be reached with 87% setting of weights (SMt 638 x 87% = 555/4254 = .13 in).
* If additional adjustments are required, the following larger model SPV6-15000 can be selected, recalculating the eccentricity formula to reach 81% of weight setting.
* When selecting a vibrator it is always advisable to use approximately 80% of the Static Moment or Centrifugal Force reported in the catalog in order to leave
20% of extra performance available in case on site adjustments are required. According to this assumption all our vibrators are set at 80% before shipment.

Electric Rotary Vibrators
Mounting Syntron® Electric Rotary Vibrators
Vibrator selection and installation is based upon
individual application requirements. For vibration
distribution, each electric rotary bin vibrator should
be mounted midway, on a length of channel, welded
with its legs against the side of the bin. All electric
rotary bin vibrator models can be mounted with the
shaft in any position from horizontal to near vertical.
For maximum effectiveness, chutes requiring vibrators
Conical Hoppers
Mount vibrator by channel-iron
stiffener 3 to 7 feet long (1-2 m)
to hopper wall, one-fourth to
one-third the distance from the
discharge to the top. A second
vibrator (if necessary) should be
mounted diametrically opposite
and approximately halfway up
the bin wall.
Rectangular Hoppers
Mount as for conical hoppers
on the centerline of one side.
A second vibrator may be
required if complete cleaning
of all corners and sides is
desired. To mount, follow
instructions for conical hoppers.
Rectangular Bins with Hopper
Bottoms
Usually requires larger force
vibrators than conical or rectangular hoppers because of additional head load. Locate vibrator
one-fourth to one-third the distance up sloping section of bin
wall, and follow mounting
instructions for conical hoppers.
Parabolic Bins or Hoppers
Mount vibrator within one foot
of each discharge opening and
in line with center of opening.
30
should be independently isolated. In addition, the
vibrator should be mounted midway on a channel
located underneath the length of the chute.
Note: For free-flowing bulk material installations,
vibrators on hoppers should operate only when the
hopper is open to flow. Otherwise, packing of material
can result.
Chutes
To move the material in a
chute, the chute should be
inclined to no less than half
the "angle of repose" of the
material (at least 10 degrees).
On chutes from six to 10
feet (1.8 - 3 m) long, two
vibrators are needed; one
should be placed 18 - 24 inches (457 - 610 mm) from the
discharge and the other approximately in the middle.
Since chutes are very sensitive to vibration, a provision
should be made to move the lower vibrator six inches
(152 mm) in either direction. This could mean the difference between moving the material or not moving it.
Vibrator shaft (eccentric weight) should be rotating in the
direction of material flow.
Bins with Sloping Discharge
Mount the vibrator one-sixteenth to oneeighth the distance up bin wall that is
contiguous with the underside of chute.
This lower mounting position puts vibrator
close to bin discharge throat and assures
vibration transference into chute.
Bin or Hopper with Vertical Side
Mount vibrator on wall with the
least slope. Follow mounting instructions for rectangular bins with hopper
bottoms.
Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations may
require slight variations. For other applications not covered here, please consult
factory for recommendations.
Mounting Syntron® Electric Rotary Vibrators, cont’d.
Screw Feeder
Feeds from the back.
Vibrator should be 1/3 from
the inlet. If two vibrators are
used, place second vibrator
on opposite side, 1/3
from the discharge. Do
not run the vibrator at
the discharge until the
back of the bin is
empty and the vibrator
at the inlet is shut off.
Short Screw Feeder
Place vibrator as close
as possible to feeder.
Concrete Hopper or Lined Wooden Hopper
For wooden hoppers lined
with thin sheet metal, attach
vibrator mounting bolts to
the hopper lining.
For concrete hoppers,
secure a steel plate across the
top inside of the hopper to
the discharge opening along
the side to which the vibrator
will be mounted. At about
1/4 or less of the distance
from the discharge to the vertical side, cut an opening to
allow the vibrator to be bolted to the steel plate.
Long Bin
Belt conveyor feeds from
front. Vibrator should be 1/3
from front. If two vibrators
are used, place one on opposite side and 1/3 from back.
Do not operate the
back vibrator until
the front is empty
and the front vibrator
is shut off.
Belt Conveyor and
Standard Bin
Mount vibrator on the
belt discharge side of the
hopper. Follow mounting
instructions for the appropriate bin type on page 30.
Vibrating Feeder and
Standard Bin
Mount vibrator on the
feeder infeed side of the
hopper. Follow mounting
instructions for the appropriate bin type on page 30.
Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations
may require slight variations. For other applications not covered here,
please consult factory for recommendations.
Wood Bin
Use steel plate on
inside and bolt to outside mounting plate.

Pneumatic Vibrators
Syntron® Pneumatic Vibrators
FMC Technologies offers two types of
Syntron® Pneumatic Vibrators — turbine and
piston. Turbine models feature rotary action
designed to keep noise to a minimum.
Operating speed is adjusted by simply varying
the air supply.
Syntron piston vibrators feature one piece,
cast iron, flat base construction which produces
high impact, linear force and efficient energy
transfer. They are ideal for mining, chemical,
concrete, plastics, steel, foundry and paper
industries.
Syntron Pneumatic Bin Vibrators also
come with the technical expertise of FMC
Technologies’ application specialists, who have
been providing productive solutions for a wide
variety of material handling problems for more
than 80 years.

Syntron® Pneumatic Vibrators
Syntron® Pneumatic Piston vibrator maintains consistent
flow of coal from a coal bin to a vibrating feeder.
Syntron® Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators
Syntron® Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators from FMC
Technologies offer a convenient, reliable alternative to
other vibrators. Designed to keep noise pollution at a
minimum, Syntron Turbine Vibrators aid in controlling
the flow of material in almost any application, from
screening, sizing and separating both fine and coarse
materials, to aiding the flow of materials from supply
hoppers and chutes, to driving parts feeders.*
Unlike other vibrators, Syntron turbine vibrators use
compressed air to turn a turbine wheel, allowing air to be
channeled through the unit and then through a muffler.
This makes turbine vibrators convenient in locations
where electricity is not readily available. Speed is adjusted
by simply varying the air supply. Additionally, the
vibrator's sealed bearings are prelubricated for life,
making them ideal for food and other applications
where oily exhaust air is unacceptable. And, their compact,
totally enclosed construction eliminates concern over
environmental factors such as dust, dirt or moisture.
Syntron® Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators
* For low-pressure applications, please contact
FMC Technologies for recommendations.
There are three types of Syntron Pneumatic Turbine
Vibrators: TAM, TBM and TB.
A lifetime of quiet, reliable operation
Features and Benefits
Rotary action provides low noise level
Adjustable air pressure allows easy adjustment of force to
suit varying applications
Turbine vibrators maintain 70-75 decibels
throughout their entire life, as compared to sharp
increases in noise levels of ball, roller, and piston
type vibrators. Turbine sound levels actually decrease
during a short "break in" period and retain a constant
low sound level throughout their life.
Sealed and prelubricated bearings require no additional
lubrication
Totally enclosed construction permits placement in dusty,
dirty or wet locations
Energy-conserving design requires less air than
comparable ball vibrators
Air efficiency remains constant throughout vibrator life
Orbital action facilitates material flow in chutes
Oversized bearings promote longer life
Rugged, durable construction for many years of safe,
reliable performance
Malleable iron housings except as noted
Wide range of sizes

Pneumatic Vibrators
Selecting the Proper Syntron® Pneumatic Turbine Vibrator
Bins or Hoppers
In order to move material in a bin or hopper, the friction
between the material and the bin wall must be broken. Once
the friction is broken, material cannot cling to the sides of the
bin and it will flow out through the discharge. For 80 percent
of all turbine bin vibrator applications, the vibrator force
needed to accomplish this is simply calculated as follows:
Calculate the weight of the material in the transition or
sloping part of the bin. Normally, this is the only place
where the friction between the material and the bin side
has to be broken. Do not calculate the total weight, only
what is in the transition part of the bin.
For conical bins, calculate as follows:
0.261 x dia.2 x height x material density in lb/ft3 (kg/m3)
For rectangular bins, calculate as follows:
Length x width x height x 1/3 x material density.a
NOTE: For selecting the proper pneumatic piston vibrator model,
see page 42.
When the weight (lb) has been calculated, divide the
weight by 10 to get the force or impact needed from the
vibrator (lbf). If the weight is calculated in kg, divide the
weight by 1.02 to get the force or impact needed from the
vibrator (N). For example: The conical part of a 25-ton bin
contains 7000 lb. Divide 7,000 by 10 to get the force (lbf)
or impact needed from the vibrator. Find a suitable vibrator
on pages 35, 36 and 38.
Additional considerations when sizing vibrators to bins:
If the bin side angle is less than 30 degrees, select a
larger vibrator.
If the bin has a vertical section, select a larger vibrator.
If the bin wall is extra thick (see tables pages 35, 36 and
38), select a larger vibrator.
On very sticky and hard to move materials, it is better to
use two small vibrators instead of one large one (size the
two smaller ones by dividing
the required force in half).
Two Syntron® model TB-320 Pneumatic
Turbine Vibrators mounted on a batch
hopper.
Vibrating Tables for Packing Materials
Dense materials respond best to high-frequency vibration while light, fluffy or flaky materials respond best to
low-frequency vibration. For packing or settling materials,
use a vibrator with an impact force of one-and-a-half to two
times larger than the weight of the material plus container.
Find a suitable vibrator on pages 36 and 38.
Vibrating Screens
For self-cleaning screens, use a vibrator with a centrifugal force (impact) four times the weight of the material plus
the weight of the screen.
NOTE: Coarse, lumpy, sticky or wet materials respond best to highfrequency vibration; powdery and dry materials respond best to lowfrequency vibration.
Consolidating Concrete
For three-inch "slump" concrete, use a vibrator with the
same force (impact) as the weight of concrete and form. For
one- to two-inch slump concrete, an additional 30 to 50 percent impact is needed. For dry mixes (zero slump), increase
the impact by 100 to 200 percent.
Chutes
The force required of the vibrator is equal to the weight
of the chute plus vibrator plus maximum material in the
chute. See page 40 for more details.

Pneumatic Vibrators
Mounting Syntron® Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators
Vibrator selection and installation is based upon
individual application requirements. For vibration distribution, each pneumatic turbine vibrator should be
mounted midway, on a length of channel, welded with
its legs against the side of the bin. All vibrator models
can be mounted with the shaft in any position, from
horizontal to vertical. For maximum effectiveness,
chutes requiring vibrators should be independently
Conical Hoppers
Mount vibrator by channeliron stiffener 3 to 7 feet long
(1-2 m) to hopper wall, onefourth to one-third the distance
from the discharge to the top.
A second vibrator (if necessary)
should be mounted diametrically
opposite and approximately
halfway up the bin wall.
Rectangular Hoppers
Mount as for conical hoppers
on the centerline of one side. A
second vibrator may be required
if complete cleaning of all
corners and sides is desired.
To mount, follow instructions
for conical hoppers.
Rectangular Bins with
Hopper Bottoms
Usually requires larger
force vibrators than conical or
rectangular hoppers because
of additional head load. Locate
vibrator one-fourth to onethird the distance up sloping
section of bin wall, and follow
mounting instructions for
conical hoppers.
Parabolic Bins or Hoppers
Mount vibrator within one
foot of each discharge opening
and in line with center of
opening.
40
isolated. In addition, the vibrator should be mounted
midway on a channel located underneath the length of
the chute.
Note: For free-flowing bulk material applications,
vibrators on hoppers should operate only when the
hopper is open to flow. Otherwise, packing of material
can result.
Chutes
To move the material in
a chute, the chute should be
inclined to no less than half
the "angle of repose" of the
material (at least 10
degrees). On chutes from 6
to 10 feet (1.8 - 3 m) long, two vibrators are
needed; one should be placed 18-24 inches (457
- 610 mm) from the discharge and the other
approximately in the middle. Since chutes are
very sensitive to vibration, provision should be
made to move lower vibrator six inches (152
mm) in either direction. This could mean the
difference between moving the material or not
moving it.
Bins with Sloping Discharge
Mount the vibrator one-eighth to onesixteenth the distance up bin wall that is
contiguous with the underside of chute.
This lower mounting position puts
vibrator close to bin discharge throat and
assures vibration transference into chute.
Bin or Hopper with Vertical Side
Mount vibrator on wall with the least
slope. Follow mounting instructions for
rectangular bins with hopper bottoms.
Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations may require
slight variations. For other applications not covered here, please consult factory
for recommendations.
Screw Feeder
Feeds from the back.
Vibrator should be 1/3 from
the inlet. If two vibrators are
used, place second vibrator
on opposite side, 1/3
from the discharge. Do
not run the vibrator at
the discharge until the
back of the bin is
empty and the vibrator
at the inlet is shut off.
Short Screw Feeder
Place vibrator as close
as possible to feeder.
Concrete Hopper or Lined Wooden Hopper
For wooden hoppers
lined with thin sheet metal,
attach vibrator mounting
bolts to the hopper lining.
For concrete hoppers,
secure a steel plate across
the top inside of the hopper
to the discharge opening
along the side to which the
vibrator will be mounted.
At about 1/4 or less of the
distance from the discharge to the vertical side, cut an
opening to allow the vibrator to be bolted to the steel plate.
Long Bin
Belt conveyor feeds from front. Vibrator should be
1/3 from front. If two vibrators are
used, place one on opposite
side and 1/3 from
back. Do not
operate the back
vibrator until the
front is empty and
the front vibrator
is shut off.
Belt Conveyor and
Standard Bin
Mount vibrator on the
belt discharge side of the
hopper. Follow mounting
instructions for the appropriate bin type on page 40.
Vibrating Feeder and
Standard Bin
Mount vibrator on the
feeder infeed side of the
hopper. Follow mounting
instructions for the appropriate
bin type on page 40.
Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations may require
slight variations. For other applications not covered here, please consult factory
for recommendations.
Wood Bin
Use steel plate on
inside and bolt to outside mounting plate.

Pneumatic Vibrators
PV and PVS Piston Vibrator Series
Positive Punch for Difficult Applications
Syntron® Piston Vibrators from FMC
Technologies assure the flow of materials
through bins, chutes and weigh batchers.
Their cast iron, flat base construction provides
an efficient means of transmitting shock energy
developed by the reciprocating piston
to the mounting surface.
Syntron Piston Vibrators are available in two
models: High impact (PV) and Reduced Noise
(PVS). PVS vibrators (impact against a cushion
of air) can be used where noise is objectionable.
Unlike turbine vibrators, piston vibrators
require lubrication with oil, SAE-10 or lighter.
Lack of oil in the air rapidly wears down the
piston and cylinder wall.
Features and Benefits
Cast iron, flat base construction.
One-piece housing
Flange mounted
Ideal for use in mining, chemical, concrete,
plastics, steel, foundry and paper industries
Available in high impact (PV) or reduced noise
(PVS) models
High thrust reciprocating action of PVS models
permits operation at low air pressures
High impact, linear force and efficient energy
transfer assures flow of materials through bins,
chutes and weigh batchers
Linear vibration
Impacts in both directions
Syntron® PV and PVS Pneumatic Piston Vibrator models.
Piston Vibrator Selection
In order to move material in a bin or hopper, the friction
between the material and the bin wall must be broken. Once
the friction is broken, material cannot cling to the sides of
the bin and it will flow out through the discharge. A prime
consideration in selecting the correct piston bin vibrator is
wall thickness. The following formulas calculate material in
the restricted area which is used as a guide to determine the
number of piston bin vibrators necessary.
Calculate the weight of the material in the transition or
sloping part of the bin. Normally, this is the only place where
the friction between the material and the bin side has to be
broken. Do not calculate the total weight, only what is in the
transition part of the bin.
For conical bins, calculate as follows:
0.261 x dia.2 x height x material density in lb/ft3 (kg/m3)
For rectangular bins, calculate as follows:
Length x width x height x 1/3 x material density.
Chutes
The force required of the vibrator is equal to the weight
of the chute plus vibrator plus maximum material in the
chute. See page 43 for more detail.

Pneumatic
Pneumatic Vibrators
Bin Vibrators, cont’d.
Mounting Syntron® Pneumatic Piston Vibrators
To obtain maximum efficiency from pneumatic
piston vibrators, correct location is important. Mount
the vibrator with the centerline of the piston a minimum
of 15 degrees from the horizontal. For free-flowing
bulk material installations, vibrators on hoppers
should operate only when the hopper is open to flow.
Curved Surfaces
To mount a vibrator to a
curved surface, select a bracket
made from a channel section or
bent plate. Mounting bolt heads
can be welded to the underside of
the bracket.
Otherwise, packing of material can result.
NOTE: Never mount the vibrator directly to the
skin of the bin. Always mount the vibrator on a
mounting plate or channel iron.
Rectangular or Cylindrical Bins with
Flat Bottom and Center Discharge.
Mount directly to the side of the
bin, just below the point where the
materials’ natural angle of repose
intersects the side, as shown.
Parabolic Bins or Hoppers
Rectangular Hoppers
Mount vibrator and
mounting channel as for a
conical hopper or a curved
surface. If a stiffener
obstructs mounting, mount
the vibrator in the middle of
the panel next to the stiffener.
If required, a second vibrator should be mounted
on the opposite face at a slightly higher elevation.
Hopper with Sloping
Discharge
Mount the vibrator on
the center line of the hopper,
as close to the discharge as
possible. An additional
vibrator may be required
on the discharge chute.
Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations may
require slight variations. For other applications not covered here, please
consult factory for recommendations.
44
Mount the vibrator within one foot of each discharge
opening and in line with
center of opening.
Conical Hoppers
Mount the vibrator to the
hopper (as for a curved surface) 12 to 18 inches
(300 to 450 mm) or less
from the discharge.
Inclined Chutes
Chutes less than 10 to 12 feet
(3 to 3.6 m) long are usually
equipped with just one vibrator
located well below the center.
Allow for the vibrator to be moved
about one foot (300 mm) in either
direction. On chutes requiring
more than one vibrator, the first one should be located
18 to 24 inches (450 to 500 mm) from the outlet. The
second unit should be mounted about half-way
between the first vibrator and the upper end. Allow for
the vibrator to be moved about one foot
(300 mm) in either direction.
Screw Feeder
Belt Conveyor and Standard Bin
Screw conveyors feed from the back of the
hopper. Vibrator should be 1/3 from the inlet. If
two vibrators are used, place second vibrator on
opposite side, 1/3 from the discharge. Do not operate
the vibrator at the discharge end until the back of
the bin is empty and the vibrator at the inlet is
shut off.
Mount vibrator on the belt discharge side of the hopper.
Follow mounting instructions for the appropriate bin type
on page 44.
Concrete Hopper or Lined Wooden Hopper
For wooden hoppers lined with thin sheet metal,
attach vibrator mounting bolts to the hopper lining.
Short Screw Feeder
Place vibrator
as close as possible
to feeder.
For concrete hoppers, secure a steel plate across the
top inside of the hopper to the discharge opening along
the side to which the vibrator will be mounted. At
about 1/4 or less of the distance from the discharge to
the vertical side, cut an opening to allow the vibrator to
be bolted to the steel plate.
Long Bin
Belt conveyors feed from the front of the hopper.
Vibrator should be 1/3 from front. If two vibrators
are used, place one on opposite side and 1/3 from
back. Do not operate the back vibrator until the
front is empty and the front vibrator is shut off.
Vibrating Feeder and Standard Bin
Mount vibrator on the feeder
infeed side of the hopper. Follow
mounting instructions for the
appropriate bin type on page 44.
Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations may
require slight variations. For other applications not covered here, please
consult factory for recommendations.

Pneumatic Vibrators
Optimized Operation of Syntron® Turbine and Piston
Pneumatic Vibrators
1. Air Line to Vibrator — In order to minimize pressure loss from the compressor, the inner
diameter (ID) of the hose to the vibrator should be the same as or larger than the inlet ID
(pipe size) of the vibrator.
2. Flow Valve — A flow control valve can tune the vibrator to the required force. The flow
volume determines the force and frequency of the vibrator. Throttling the flow enables you
to find the desired material discharge rate and avoid the natural frequency of the bin or hopper.
If the bin wall and vibrator shake violently, increase or decrease the speed to run with minimum movement. Do not exceed the maximum air pressures shown on pages 35, 36, 38 and 43.
3. Quick-Opening Valves — Quick-opening valves can be used between the air regulator and
vibrator to allow air to enter the vibrator at full starting force, even at low regulator valve
settings. However, the air regulator must be installed at a sufficient distance from the quickopening valve so that the air pressure between the two valves will build up enough to yield
the necessary starting force.
4. Water in the Line — Water in the line should be avoided because it will remove the protective
film of lubrication necessary to ensure proper operation.
5. Air Filter — Use an air cleaner in the line to prolong vibrator life and keep it at maximum
efficiency and lowest energy consumption. In turbine vibrators, unclean air will accelerate
wear of the housing and clog the muffler. In piston vibrators, unclean air will considerably
diminish vibrator life and clog clearance between the cylinder and piston. It will also increase
wear on the piston, as well as increase air consumption and diminish vibrator efficiency.
6. Air Lubrication — Lubrication is necessary ONLY for Piston Vibrators. Turbine vibrators
have prelubricated bearings. Lubricated air may clog the muffler on turbine vibrators.
7. Operation Requirements — Do not operate a piston vibrator prior to mounting it to a
mounting plate or channel.
8. Using a Timer — For better efficiency and longer vibrator life, operate the vibrator only as
required to maintain flow.
9. Empty Bin — Do not operate a vibrator on an empty bin.
10. Ambient Temperature — Do not install pneumatic vibrators in environments where ambient
temperatures exceed 180˚F.
